A Strong Defense Against Accusations Of Sex Offenses
If you are not charged, but you are being investigated, you must contact an attorney immediately. Do not delay. Smart people hire lawyers before they speak with the police. It is not a sign of guilt if you ask for a lawyer.
If you have been charged with a sex crime, the repercussions you face stretch beyond extensive fines and prison time. You run the risk of being labeled a sex offender — a label that is permanent. You need a criminal defense attorney who understands the implications of the sexually oriented offenses. With more than 200 years of combined legal experience defending people who have been accused of sex crimes in Cincinnati, Lebanon, and Oxford, and throughout Ohio, we understand the weight of these charges. We will aggressively defend your rights by thoroughly investigating the facts and developing a defense based upon the merits of your case.

In addition to a potential jail or prison sentence, many sexual offenses require sexual offender registration. Tier I offenses require annual notification for up to 15 years, Tier II offenses require registration every 180 days for 25 years, and Tier III offenses require an offender to register every 90 days for the rest of his or her life.
Sexually Oriented Offenses By Tiers
The mere stigma related to the false accusation of a sex offense can ruin a person’s life, yet the impact of a conviction is much worse. Through our experience in leadership positions in organizations ranging from the Ohio Criminal Defense Association to the Warren County Bar Association, we have proven that we understand the laws pertaining to sex crimes. We have successfully achieved not guilty verdicts for clients accused of sex crimes and have numerous plea bargains over the past several decades where our clients have escaped the status of being labeled a sexual offender.
